Life, Credit, GPS and Home Improvement
Your life isn’t all fun in the sun, is it? After my wife and I spent a good week away from reality on vacation, it was time for us to confront reality. From exorbitant interest on our credit cards and our car loan to house projects left pending, we had our work lined up for us. And I’m persistent old dog, so I wasn’t giving up on my gps project, either.
The first thing we did was address the credit cards. Gratefully, even in this time of difficult credit, credit card companies and auto loan agencies seem anxious to please individuals with good credit. My wife did a good job isolating the optimum deal on zero percent credit cards.
I’m grateful somebody in the household has some sure sense of our financial situation… and it sure as heck isn’t me. But the lower interest rate and smaller monthly bills ought to genuinely provide us some breathing room.
Next we had to address a number of household betterments we had been designing for quite some time. Some may say we have no business investing in betterments at this time, but what can I say? We prefer to obstinately push onward.
My wife has been looking over the different available steam showers and we both agree on the bathroom lights and bathroom sinks we want for our bathroom remodel, but after looking over some discount bedsheets, we’re no longer on the same page for the new bedding.
Gratefully, she’s being either encouraging or patient of my small gadget obsession. I’m not too bad about it, but I have my weakness. Presently I have narrowed it down to handheld TVs, DVD projector or a Garmin Golflogix GPS. Speaking of GPS, we both agree it is time to invest in a bluetooth GPS receiver.
I think gps tech has evolved enough and become cheap enough that we need to integrate it into our life.
I am just relieved my girl and I are on the same page for most of this stuff. People’s lives can be so much more difficult when the people around them use your troubles as launching places for their pride instead of opportunities to unite and grow.
